Thermal safety cut-out The preset thermal safety cut-out protects the heating element from overheating should the appliance be erroneously switched on without containing any water, or if the heating element is calcified. Once the safety cut-out has switched off the kettle, it must be allowed to cool down sufficiently, or must be descaled, before being switched on again. Before using for the first time To clean the kettle, boil and then discard the first filling of water. Boiling water - Set the voltage selector to the correct voltage. - Remove the lid and fill the container with water to the desired level, observing the minimum and maximum level marks on the container. - Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket and reset the safety cut-out by pressing the operating button. After reaching boiling point, the appliance is automatically switched off by the integral steam cut-off device. - To interrupt the boiling process, remove the plug from the wall socket. If the boiling process is interrupted by disconnecting the mains supply, i. e. before the cut-off device has been triggered, the appliance will be reactivated automatically when next connected to mains power. - Always remove the plug from the wall socket before pouring hot water. - To prevent hot steam from being emitted, ensure that the lid remains closed while pouring out the water.
